Hi lads

Well im now retired, yesterday received my pot of gold & my P45, so 44 years & 6mths at work are over. Every colleague that’s retired in the past, has been an old fart, so I guess I now have this status.
Not supposed to be on this computer as I signed it back yesterday, im in the office to take the lads out for a drink , tried my login & it still worked, I don’t have access at home at the mo.

Taking a month off now, have access to a Villa in Portugal, so off there at some stage in the next week or so.
Will start play at MAD on my return, details being thrashed out at the mo, maybe just maybe I can make him more efficient, perhaps not.

Enjoy your retirement Rod
My old man found it hard to unwind when he retired as he got very restless till he found a hobby to do.

Having the car to work on will make it easier as I imagine it will be quite a shock not having to go to work

All the best

I think Deano has more or less got Mark kicked into shape now anyway mate, so Rod will only need to polish off a few edges
